"Waaah, how terrifying. I felt like I was almost going to die!"
Senju Nawaki patted his chest, looking like he was still shaken.
If he had been hit by that attack just now, his internal organs would probably have been shattered!
"However, my Zanpakuto definitely won't lose to anyone either~"
As his voice fell, Senju Nawaki wielded his Zanpakuto and slashed toward Tsunade's direction.
"Arrest her, Deep Forest Bloom!"
Tsunade's expression suddenly changed as the earth of the entire Konoha began to shake violently like a churning earth dragon.
"What happened?"
The sudden change threw everyone into a panic, leaving them at a loss.
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi issued an order: "Gather your Chakra at the soles of your feet and try to maintain your footing!"
As if they had finally found a backbone, the Konoha Shinobi all followed Hokage-sama's instructions.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Senju Nawaki with a solemn expression, feeling somewhat shaken that a casual wave of his hand could cause such a massive impact on Konoha.
Orochimaru frowned and said in a low voice: "Something is coming..."
Tsunade's brows locked tightly. Her heart suddenly panicked, and following her instinct, she left her original spot.
Boom!!
Almost instantly, right where Tsunade had been standing, a huge giant hand covered in flowers, grass, and trees burst out from the ground!
Seeing the appearance of the giant hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi cried out in shock.
"Is that First Hokage-sama's Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands?!"
Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands?
Tsunade shook her head. She had read the Wood Style Ninjutsu scrolls left behind by her grandfather.
Although the manifestation of this giant hand was very similar to the Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands, its purpose and effects were completely different.
Instead, it was a bit like a violent Ninjutsu like True Several Hundred Hands, but with only one hand.
Before Tsunade could think carefully, another giant hand of the same specifications burst out from the ground beneath her feet once more.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Tsunade's eyes as she instinctively blocked in front of her with both arms. With a loud bang, she was directly slapped flying by the giant hand!
Rumble rumble!!
Tsunade's body crashed into a stone-tiled house, causing it to instantly collapse amidst a cloud of dust!
"Lady Tsunade!"
Seeing this, the other Ninja grew worried one after another.
It seemed that Wood Style was indeed troublesome.
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.
"Cough cough!"
Tsunade's coughing came from within the dust and smoke.
She crawled out from beneath the collapsed tiles and bricks, her body covered in dust with a trace of fresh blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, looking rather disheveled.
A hint of green faintly rose within the blue Chakra flame.
The curse mark on her forehead from releasing the Yin Seal expanded a bit more.
This kind of Wood Style looked much more flexible than the Wood Style recorded by her grandfather.
She silently recovered from her injuries while pondering the intelligence left behind by her grandfather regarding Wood Style.
Fortunately, Nawaki seemed to have just awakened it not long ago, and his use of Wood Style was still very crude.
Otherwise...
Fortunately, there was still room to maneuver now!
Although she was disheveled, an older sister's dignity could not be lost. Tsunade wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and taunted:
"Such a powerful Ninjutsu like Wood Style, yet you use it so crudely! You'd better obediently come home with your older sister and let her teach you how to use Wood Style properly!"
Tsunade wasn't just talking trash for the sake of it; her ultimate goal was still to reclaim Nawaki.
To make Nawaki recall his memories concerning her.
But obviously, Senju Nawaki did not understand Tsunade's good intentions.
Perhaps even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
In his cognition, he was a citizen of the Land of Whirlpools!
Senju Nawaki's expression gradually turned cold.
This woman was truly annoying to death, always telling him to go home and go home. Where was home? Could he not be clear about that?
His home was right in the Land of Whirlpools!
He had had enough of this woman nagging incessantly.
"You wouldn't think that I can only control one hand of the Deep Forest Bloom at a time, would you?"
"What!"
Hearing Nawaki's words, Tsunade's heart inexplicably turned cold.
Boom boom boom!!
The underground of Konoha suddenly collapsed as giant heaven-supporting hands broke through the soil one after another!
Tsunade's eyes widened. One, two, three...
A full nine giant hands danced in the sky, completely blocking the light cast by the setting sun and plunging Konoha into darkness.
Gulp!
Looking at this apocalyptic scene, the Konoha Shinobi couldn't help but feel weak at the knees with dull gazes.
This kind of Ninjutsu...
How on earth can this be resolved!?
Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils shrank violently, and he could no longer maintain his surface composure.
"Quick! Use Fire Style to attack those giant hands!!"
His eyes widened as if in disbelief. Nawaki's appearance made it obvious that he genuinely intended to kill Tsunade!
The other Ninja panicked for a moment, but after receiving Hokage-sama's order, they quickly formed hand Seals in an orderly manner and released Ninjutsu!
"Fire Style: Flame Bullet!"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Fire Style..."
All kinds of flames flew toward the nine giant hands, but when they struck the giant hands, they were like tiny sparks that had no effect whatsoever!
Hiruzen Sarutobi locked his brows and rapidly formed hand Seals with both hands.
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
A massive fire dragon spat out from Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth, carrying a roaring sound as it flew toward the giant hand closest to him!
Bang!
The fire dragon smashed into the giant hand, quickly igniting a patch of flames and burning the giant hand!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Use B-Level or higher Fire Style!"
But this condition clearly wasn't something ordinary Ninja could achieve.
The Uchiha clan Chief responded first, similarly sending a Great Dragon Fire Technique flying toward one of the giant hands.
Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado also each released one.
But soon, no one else was able to release high-Level Fire Style Ninjutsu.
The remaining Hyuga Clan Head and most of the others belonged to secret technique clans and were not very proficient in Ninjutsu of other attributes.
Moreover, Senju Nawaki did not give them any more opportunities to consume the Deep Forest Bloom.
The remaining giant hands came from all directions, sealing off all of Tsunade's escape routes.
But obviously, this time Tsunade wasn't planning to run either.
She just waited quietly, as if she had already accepted her own death, her lips moving gently as if she were saying something.
--- Seeking Flowers ---
Senju Nawaki frowned, reading what she said through lip-reading.
"Nawaki, do you really want to kill your older sister...?"
Senju Nawaki shook his head and said: "At this point, you're still saying such ridiculous things."
